Planned learning activities and teaching methods

COVID-19 Due to current health measures, the practical modalities of the course may be adapted according to the constraints. At the time of writing this educational commitment, it was decided that the theoretical course will be in the form of pre-recorded video capsules (available online). TD and TP sessions remain face-to-face. The teaching team will keep you informed, via your ULiège email address, of any changes.
Laboratories are programmed to enable the students to apply and sense by themselves the practical involvements of the theoretical lecture.
Directed exercises are organized on the whole course.
Remediation sessions are also organized for interested students.
Formative interrogations are available on the e-campus platform.

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

Online video for the theoretical part
Face-to-face guided exercise sessions
Practical laboratory sessions
+ remediation sessions

Organisational adjustments related to the current health context

The exam will be written (QCM). It will be organized on the campus site. In the event that access at the campus is prohibited, the exam will then be organized remotely via the e-campus platform. All the details of the practical modalities of this remote exam will be available on this e-campus platform. If the scheduled face-to-face exam must be organized remotely, students will be notified of this change by email, which must be consulted until the day before the exam date.

Recommended or required readings

Lecture notes : They are available during the first weeks of the quadrimester. They consist in a book entitled "Introduction à la chimie " Partim 2, by C. Jérôme, of 6 chapters. The slides used during the lectures, and the training exercises will also be available during the quadrimester via e-campus.

Assessment methods and criteria

Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.

Any session :

- In-person

written exam ( multiple-choice questionnaire )

- Remote

written exam ( multiple-choice questionnaire )

- If evaluation in "hybrid"

preferred in-person


Additional information:

The written examination  will be organized as multiple choice questions on theoretical and problem solving aspects of the lectures.

The global quotation will be the averaged on 20.
During the quadrimester, students can train themselves on the e-campus platform.

Work placement(s)

Organizational remarks

The laboratories are mandatory.
Any absence must be justified by medical certificate provided to the assistant within three working days. Each student is required to come with his required equipment (labcoat, glasses) having prepared the laboratory in advance by reading the manual and related course concept.
A report and/or QCM/QROC questions will be asked for each laboratory to all students.
